What kind of trees do people usually plant in your hometown?
Well..there are a large variety of trees that people usually plant in Chengdu. I guess the most popular one would be bamboo because it is an essential part of the giant panda's daily diet. Besides, you can also find a large number of Gingko trees in the city as they look stunning in autumn with golden leaves turning the ground around it into a yellow ocean.
Do you like planting trees? Why?
To be honest, I am not very interested in planting trees.It' s simply because of the inconvenience of this kind of activity.
First of all, I can hardly find a location in the city to plant a tree! Then, tree planting is also a difficult work involving a lot of procedures like digging a hole and providing follow-up cares. Personally, i think it' s very troublesome so I don' t particularly enjoy planting trees.
